How To Feed A Teenager

I tend to write about my youngest two boys all the time and nobody realizes that I have a teenage son. He is a teenager and like most teens he could care less if I talked about him. Most of the time my teen son is not home anyway. He is a busy teen so when I do get time with him, I cherish every moment. Ok there are some moments, when he is crabby, that I don't cherish him. I blame the crabbiness on hormones and hunger. It seems like my teen is always hungry and can never get enough food. My teen is a tall skinny kid and no matter how much he eats, he stays skinny. How I wish I had that problem. My teen is also very busy and active so he needs healthy food that he can eat on the go. My teen needs healthy food to keep his growing body well nourished. One of the foods my teen likes to eat is a protein shake as he can consume that rather fast to be able to get up and go. My son also likes the added protein, from a protein shake, so he can build up his muscles.

My teen is a runner and participates in cross country and track at his high school. My son also participates on the rifle team in the ROTC Navy program at his school. All of these activities require use of his muscles and that means my son needs protein to help his muscles recover. My son loves that he can place a scoop of CardioWhey Vanilla Bean protein powder in a shaker bottle and place it in his backpack. He then goes off to school. Later in the after he runs or shoots rifles, my son adds water to the protein powder and shakes it up. He then has a delicious creamy vanilla shake to get some protein into his body to help his muscles recover. The protein in the CardioWhey shake keeps my son full until he gets home. I like that there is 6 grams of fiber in the protein powder to aid in digestion. Gluten free people can also enjoy this yummy shake as it has no gluten in it.

This vanilla bean protein powder is also great for making smoothies. The vanilla flavor blends well with almost any fruit and veggie combination. I think blueberries and spinach makes a great combination. I also use this protein powder to make yummy shakes for my younger boys. They like peanut butter and caramel. How would you use CardioWhey Vanilla Bean protein powder?

I might have to try this for my two youngest - a tween girl and a gradeschool boy. I want to get more nutrients in them while they are still such picky eaters and choose mostly non-nutrient foods. I like that they can take it dry to school and add water there. Where do you buy this - online only - or another source?

I've been drinking whey protein for when I exercise because I know I need to get in those extra nutrients. I'm always looking for different ones to try so this would be a good one. I already know when my kids are teens, we'll have to keep the fridge and pantry stocked!

I have been trying to exercise and eat right, but I must confess I fail at it pretty miserable. This might help out with that! Thank you for sharing this. It looks like this is a great product! look at more info
